1. Al Jazeera is a newspaper, and while I could argue that there are far more newspapers in the hasbara trade, I would not. Hasbara is different. Thanks to hasbara, I don't know whether you're paid to promote Zionist talking points online. If Qatar has an equivalent service that funds people who hide their connection to the state that enables them, please let me know.

If "hasbra" is a scare word, you should tell the Hasbara Foundation to change its name.

2. You are assuming the ADL's identification of a TikTok problem is due to antisemitism, mostly because you're conflating antizionism and antisemitism, which should be intellectually beneath you.

3. I do not know why the effort to ban TikTok suddenly escalated or why Mnuchin is trying to buy it. I use "weasel words" to acknowledge I have no evidence. That many people think it's an attempt to promote more hasbara is a matter of fact. Of course, those people could be wrong, but you have to admit the timing is suspicious, so the possibility should be considered.

4. Please quote me using Zionist to impugn all Jews. I use Zionist instead of Jew or Israeli because not all Jews and not all Israelis are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews or Israelis.

5. So you think it's coincidence that the ADL identified a TikTok problem and a wealthy Zionist put together a team to buy it? Think more critically, I beg you.

6. Many US representatives receive campaign donations from Zionist sources. Start your research here: https://www.commondreams.org/news/u-s-lawmakers-money-gaza-war

7. Being duped has nothing to do with being dumb. Captured Nazis were given IQ tests, and some of them scored very high. That doesn't mean what they believed was true, I pray you'll grant.
